Overview 1 or 2 circuits? Warm bypass diodes? Heaters and/or CLIQ? Heater redundancy Detection method

Criteria

1 or 2 Circuits The proposed single-circuit configuration differs from a two-circuit solution only on the warm side. A change between configurations is possible. The powering through a single 13-kA PC brings substantial cost savings. No trims are necessary (E. Todesco). Warm bypass diodes decouple D1 and D2 (heaters only fired in quenching magnet). There are no unprotected cold busbar segments/splices. PC with crowbar Warm bypass diodes Warm bridge SC Link D1/Triplet SC Link D2/Q4

Warm Bypass Diodes Warm bypass diodes decouple the protection of D1 and D2. Protection is activated only in the quenching magnet. Reduces cryogenic load. Without bypass diodes, both magnets are heated and small differences in protection efficiency make one magnet absorb stored energy of the other magnet. Tests on individual magnets are, therefore, representative for the operational scenario. In failure scenarios, diodes reduce voltages to ground. In case of FPA protection in both magnets must still be activated. The warm bypass diode represents a new critical protection element that needs to be developed and tested with its heat sink and leads.

Heaters or CLIQ? Both systems effectively and redundantly protect the magnet. Being single-layer coils, the difference between CLIQ and heaters in terms of hot spot temperature is small (~270 K hot spot in D1, lower in D2). Voltage to ground during nominal operation is higher with CLIQ (~700 V). Heater power-supply failures lead to comparable voltages to ground. Main difference between CLIQ and heaters is that CLIQ is a new system. We propose redundant heater-protection, the installation of CLIQ leads, and high-voltage reception tests compatible with the use of CLIQ. Heaters with optional non-redundant CLIQ. Fully redundant CLIQ-only protection

Heater Redundancy (Very) worst case assumptions: up to two heater power-supply per magnet might fail during operation. heater strips might fail due to open-circuit or short to ground. During operation 4 high-field heater circuits per magnet are needed, with 2oo4 enough for protection. Low-field strips to provide redundancy. As an alternative to the low-field circuits, CLIQ could be connected. Nominal heater-circuit configurations D1 D2 1 circuit per HF pair of heaters on either side of each aperture. (Same as MB.) 1 circuit per HF heater or HF and LF heaters in series.

Quench Detection D1 being a single-aperture dipole, it cannot be protected from (top/down-) symmetric quenches by comparison of pole voltages. A combination of pole voltages and an induction-compensated detector are proposed, i.e., two fully independent systems. A high-current dI/dt sensor needs to be developed / procured. Note that, if CLIQ leads are installed, all voltage taps can be on the warm side of the circuit.

Summary We tend towards a single circuit with warm bypass diodes (to be developed), 4 (+4 spare) heater circuits per magnet, CLIQ leads for unforeseen events on heaters and/or tests of CLIQ-only protection in an accelerator environment, and a dual quench detection (comparison and active inductive compensation).
